Compact pre-installed Windows 95 hard disk image and AUTOEXEC.BAT file packaged for DOSBox, which runs in the browser thanks to hard work of contributors to Em-DOSBox, DOSBox, Emscripten, and web browser engines.
This was originally hosted at win95.ajf.me, a site created by myself in May 2015, and inspired by the Internet Archive's DOS game emulation efforts (and using the same tech). Now it's on the Internet Archive itself. You can still go to that site if you want to know more about how this was done.

Now when ever it boots up, the whole screen is glitchy and there is a black box over the cursor, if you could look into it I would be very grateful

Not great emulation to be honest, but I was super bored today and it kept me amused for a while. I played the classic Solitaire game but sadly I lost each time :-)

Subject: PLEASE use PCEM (latest version available) for actual heavy use of Windows 95 up to 2000/ME. This is meant to be a joke on purpose!

In other words for those who have various issues with this please FOR HEAVEN SAKES PLEASE use PCEM V17 instead of this,
Get the bios master pack/make a file called (Roms) then paste all the bios in there THEN PCEM will turn on so you can configure a new virtual machine:
When you do that try starting out with a Socket 7 Pentium 200ish as most low end PC's can handle that especially emulating 95 as 98 is more of a resource hog.
The web deb clearly wanted this to be a joke OS just for shits and giggles and it worked. Too many people are taking a joke hobby too seriously.

There's kinda lag, but thats because it windows 95 trying to run in 2022. One thing ive noticed is it crashes when you set the date anywhere past 1999. i also tried to switch to 256 colour palette, but it froze up. overall, four out of five stars

For those who found it crashes "sometimes", try to adjust the system time in Windows 95 to the olde time, for example year 1999. Then the crash may be fixed.

The emulator grabs my mouse cursor so I cannot use it in the host OS/browser. I had to use keyboard shortcuts to switch tabs. Is there a better way or "host" key?

the emulator is great. but for some reason, whenever I'm moving, out of nowhere it crashes, and with that I always need to refresh the page to turn on the emulator again.
would it be possible to fix this failure?

Subject: Really cool -- Has some negatives
I want to start off by saying that this is awesome, I can't believe that someone managed to create an entire working windows 95 computer online. This is so much fun to just mess around on and get a taste of what they back in 1995 had to use. It does tend to take a while to boot up and sometimes crashes at random, but aside from that, it's really amazing and I would certainly recommend it to anyone.
